Broken Bells

Five months after opening their tour with a theatrical First Ave performance, Broken Bells is back to play a theater. The side project of Shins frontman James Mercer and mega-producer Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton became more of a real band with their second album, “After the Ghost,” a fun if only half-baked mish-mash of Beatles psychedelica and Bee Gees disco-pop. Their show in March spotlessly spotlighted the best of their two records while effectively using nifty visual effects to make up for the musicians’ lack of stage luster.
